crazy thought

the power that resurrected Jesus from the grave lives in us through the holy spirit. pretty wild, huh?

what it means to seek God's will

"so i've been thinking about what i should do about next year and i have been thinking about what it means to seek God's will and to depend on him. i've come to realize it is not so much about knowing what is predestined for us (whether we take this job, or go to this school, etc.) but really it is about living out the will he has already given us in the scripture...which is to depend on him and to know he is sovereign...i feel like i am constantly worried about doing what is "right" and being "obedient" to exactly what God wants me to do..but honestly i think God doesn't necessarily care whether i am teaching in qatar or sitting at home doing nothing..i think he cares more about where my heart is" - jean kim

seeds

lately, there has been a stirring in my heart for a calling far greater than washington dc. something for God's kingdom...don't know what it is yet...but i will be 100% in service and i think there are children involved...

silver diner

finally found a diner i like in virginia...and i had the best omlette i've ever had in my entire life....and they have these awesome jukeboxes and an even awesomer waiter with the thickest unibrow.
